- Exactly so. I don't keep peanut butter (or any other binge-type food)
- in the house. If I did, I'd be wearing it on my gut. I also find that
- my staples, like skim milk, not-fat yogurt, plain bagels, corn flakes
- and fresh fruits don't qualify as "comfort food", even if they're
- completely fine to eat during the day. At least, I'm not inclined to
- overindulge on them. I find that my food "cravings" have a lot to do
- with what's in the house.
